Emmanuel Adebayor responds to Arsenal fans' taunts over infamous Man City celebration

Former Spurs and Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor was never one to shy away from the limelight.

Yesterday marked 10 years since the Togo international's famous celebration against Arsenal, where he ran the length of the pitch in order to celebrate his Manchester City goal in front of the travelling Gunners' support.

The striker has only recently completed a big money move from the Emirates Stadium to his new club, having spent three and a half seasons with the Gunners.

As can be imagined, the celebration didn't go down well with Arsenal fans, with Adebayor turning the custom of not celbrating after scoring against our old team completely on its head.

The striker went onto score a further 18 times for Man City, before moving to Arsenal's north London rivals Tottenham via Real Madrid. Adebayor scored 42 times in 113 appearances for Spurs, including scoring against Arsenal in two separate 5-2 defeats.

The striker, who now plays for Chinese Super League side Keyserispor, has celebrated the decade anniversary of his celebration on social media, posting a picture of himself performing the knee slide in front of Arsenal fans.

The striker has also been replying to comments added by Arsenal supporters.

"I guess that was the only achievement in your career", was one reply, which Adebayor answered with: " Money, cars, bank account, that's what I came to Europe for."

A number of other replies to fans' comments on the post by the player can also be seen, with Adebayor clearly enjoying winding the fans up.
